Available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample. Presented here to share the jacket and promotion label. If you are into The Mystic Moods, you will find that this set features another interesting artistic blend of recorded environmental sound and smooth mood arrangements. The mood is augmented by laid-back poetic spoken word lead-ins by "Rosko".

That's it? Nothing else to say? And no comments either...
ReplyDeleteThis remains an album that's just lurking, waiting to be discovered and descended upon by hundreds of thousands of hipsters. Mark my words - its day will come.
Absolute truth. I kinda see it as a west coast version of the Melody Nelson album by Serge Gainsbourg.
DeleteWell, there's no death involved on this one - but that's still a very apt and legit comparison.
